McDonald’s Opens restaurant in New Delhi

NEW DELHI, INDIA —McDonald’s is opening its first restaurant in New Delhi, India. It is the only McDonald’s in the world with no beef on the menu. You can’t eat Big Macs here, but there are mutton Maharajah Macs. These hamburgers are made from Indian sheep, and the fries are made from Indian potatoes. The soda comes from an Indian bottler(灌装公司).

Many old and young people come to the new restaurant. Mr. Sahani , who is 75 years old, says he comes all the way from a town which is 90 miles south of New Delhi. “I like it because McDonald’s has not brought things from overseas. All the food comes from India.”

A 19-year-old boy, Pankresh, says, “If the food is good, I don’t care where it comes from.”

A rich Indian man, Vikram Bakshi, owns half of the restaurant. The McDonald’s company owns the other half. Bakshi says the restaurant serves mutton because 80% of Indians are Hindu. Hindus don’t eat beef. They also believe that it is wrong to kill cows.

The menu at the New Delhi McDonald’s has some other Indian food. For the Indians who don’t eat any meat at all, there are Vegetable McNuggets. They are made with rice, peas, carrots, red pepper and apices.

McDonald’s has 20,000 restaurants in more than 95 countries. It fits its menu to each culture(文化).

In Thailand, people can eat Samurai Pork Burgers with a sweet sauce(酱) on top. In Japan they can try burgers topped with a fried egg.
